Current set up is as follow: Axail AX-10 Most of the stage 2 suspension kit TCS servo plate front and rear Rear straigt axle TCS skid plate Top mount body post on custom bracket Surface of indoor obstacle is fabric cover with fiberglass resin. Don't loose youre time trying this, it's not the best... Now take a look a this video: http://img532.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ov01554eu7.flv I've got no problem getting pass the first 2/3 then i'm stuck their, spinning tire's and hoping around but if I put a finger in the middle of the roof, just barelly touching it, it goes right up. Anyone have an idea to change my set-up so I won't have to touch it to climb there, and probally else where??? Thank's for any help, René Last edited by yelo; 03-28-2008 at 11:38 PM.

What do you have for wheel weights in there? I have the same issues but I know it's 'cos my AX is FAR too light... I need wheel and axle weights... My AX in full running gear weighs about as much as my 4 Clod wheels/tires/weights and eletronics...;) I figger I need around half to a full LB of weight to be added to it... The AX is just SO light... |

has anyone been able to make it up? Kind of hard to tell if its something wrong with your setup or not when it looks like your climbing a mountainside that exxon-valdese got a hold of...

Made it up their myself once, afer about an hour trying it... That made me the third one to make it, first two had 4WS tough... That's why I'm looking into my set-up to find an edge... I feel like the truck bounce a little too much (or not enough:?) and I should play a bit with shock oil but I'm really not sure... I did play a lot with tire tread direction tough, I must have try every combination possible... Thank's again, René |

HELLO YELO ,,I had the same issue with my scorpions, try drilling some vent holes in the rims and add stickY weights to the wheels between the rims and inserts, considering the crawl in the vid i would go for a 70/30 split in favour of the front, should get you up there , hope it helps, OMA  Last edited by offmyaxials; 03-27-2008 at 05:27 AM. |

Get an ESC with a drag brake Put like 12oz in front if not more, maybe 14. Your running Lipo so there is no weight from the batteries up there IMO Losi foams are garbage, get some memory foams, the aces donuts are like 20 bucks. Your tires werent even ballooning on that so they werent getting the best contact patch. Also, sometimes trying to crawl things like that works, wheelspeed isnt always the way out. |

X2 on the exxon valdese. That looks really slick! Your setup might be fine on some nice grippy rocks.

Just imagine what I could on grippy rock's if even that was easy  ....I'll figure how much a saddle pack weight and add the equivalent in lead to the front axle since it's the best advice I figure I had.... I'll let you know what it did... | |

Well, I hadded weight to the front of the truck, on the axle, about 6.5 oz more (roughfly the same weight as an 8 cells saddle pack) plus what I had in the tire's. Now I climb almost every time, I just have to put the truck on the right line.... Thank's PapaGeno21 for the advice, it did work |
